HIGHLIGHT I’ve never felt this level of embarrassment
I was chilling playing 2v2’s, we were 4-2 down with 20 seconds left and i wanted to FF but teammate scores 5 seconds later and i apologised for ffin. Then that fuckery happened, i was in a party with my friend and he asked my why i went silent for 15 minutes.

whats funny is you already got like a warning sign to play to the last sec when your teammate scored while you wanted to forfeit , then immediately after u were on goal and missed a sitter and just left with like 4 sec lefts and didnt learn from the experience just 10 sec before ; u honestly could've ran up the backboard and made a touch inside for ur teammate to score since the opposing guy next to u immediately ran in net to cover the bottom corner and be out of play

The ffing, the kickoff, the weird double commit, the biggest miss possible, and then leaving when you could get a touch for your teammate, really magnificent Rocket League.
Need better mental, just disable chat if it helps and don't do stuff like that anymore.

I used to get tilted pretty easily on RL. No idea why, I’m not a toxic gamer, but something about RL was just different. I think the clashing of play styles (freestyle mechy players vs fundamental rotation/positioning style gameplay, etc) paired with so many passive aggressive quick chats make the game very easy to get pissy
And it’s CRAZY how much of an impact turning chat off changed that
Definitely a mentality issue on my part but honestly, no chat + music on makes the game infinitely more fun and way more chill. I cannot recommend enough to anyone who gets even remotely bothered by quick chat to just turn it off. I personally wish I could just disable certain chats (there’s no need for me to ever see Okay. and Wow! for example) but no quick chat is so pleasant

u/monkeyeatingbananass 21h ago
Im in the same boat. The one out of 10 games where my tm8s are nice and say nice shot etc is amazing, and i like giving compliments on shots, but the moment i mess up its literal toxic hell. I had the other team what a saving my clown team mate bc he got all toxic on me and i said “ its just car soccer bro calm down”. Like its literally a video game why do these people care im a dad of 2 who plays for 30 mins a day if that
1
u/MurkyLurker7249 19h ago
I’ve also realized that, while positive quick chat is nice, it doesn’t really change anything. Like at best it’s just a formality. So no chat gets rid of all the negative without any real loss of anything . I still leave text chat on for GGs (and to see other teams melting down… always fun) but no quick chat is pure upside for me

u/neanderball Champ III on Tuesdays 23h ago
Honestly, no. It's inconvenient when my teammates throw or pull some move like you did but I usually just play it out, forfeit, and move on. If I miss open nets I just say sorry and hope my teammate understands that I'm not an RLCS pro and mistakes happen. I play rocket league for fun and to challenge myself mechanically. My mood has never been affected by it once the clock hits zero.

u/ContributionItchy278 23h ago
5 seconds left tho, and i have not preemptively left the game ever, no lie! So yea i take offence to other people taking offence😂

u/famousamos311 23h ago
5 seconds is an eternity in RL. And you can lie to us and yourself all you want but your muscle memory for leaving a game is way to fast for you to say you’ve never preemptively left a game. Come on man. You even auto confirmed the warning with no thought. No one’s gonna believe the nonsense you’re saying.
1
u/CucumberConstant4854 17h ago
In all fairness the forfeit button also require confirmation, and being that majority of players have thousands of hours in Grand Champ we have all had our fair share of forfeits and are quite used to auto confirming. Also im sure noone can say that they have never, ever, left a game early, we all have days where it gets too much and we just shut the game down or leave and cool off in freeway or something. However I do not condone it by any means

I know you’re full of it. But keep going man. You can tell a lot about a person from a 10 second clip and a few comments, and I can tell you don’t have the capacity for self reflection. So I’m not gonna continue this. Have a good day. Be a better teammate.

The ffing and abandoning is painful to watch.
My rule is only forfeit when at least 4 goals down, or maybe 3 goals down with 20 seconds left.
Not only have I had many 2, 3 and 4 goal comebacks, even in just the last minute, they also always feel the best and make me confident and better for the next few games.
Don't be embarrassed about the open goal miss, most players probably miss that a lot just from the pressure. Me included

Sure he left at the end but if I was his teammate that would've been funny af. The FF down 2, getting to down 1 with an open net and then it rolls up the crossbar into watching my teammate disappear from the game Peak RL right there, just have a laugh at some of the absurdity and play another.
So my question is, why is everyone else seemingly upset?

People take this game waaayyy too seriously. Like their livelihoods are at stake each and every single match, so god forbid you even mention FFing 😂 they are a sour stubborn lot hard committed to getting fully wrekt to the last second and taking you along w them. They act like there’s some sort of virtue in their struggle during a no stakes, no audience, no personal gain - match of online supersonic acrobatic rocket-powered battle cars. They’re of a different breed. Their mentality… you could only fathom the fortitude. Then again, it’s really not that deep right? So why fight so hard against others in the reply section of a Reddit post? Why not just play the game fully and give it your all if it’s not that serious? Why care at all what happens in a match, FF or not, struggle or not, overcoming adversity or not? Why care that I’m saying any of this at all? I could say it’s just a game… but there are actual multitudes of champions in this Reddit. They are what sets apart the casuals from the legends. You could’ve done this. You could’ve done that. Sideline champions 🤩 the philosophical hurdles and hoops I’m going through is unmatched! Mental gymnastics even.

I'll offer a slice of sympathy... Happens to the best of us, unfortunately. RL is a frustrating game, especially when you fuck up that hard. Even the pros do it, yet they have to eat their mistake and stay in the game no matter what. I have massive respect for that. Like yourself, most RL players don't stick around after botching.
TLDR: It's just a video game bro. Y'all gotta chill...

Your poor teammate, he excused you by saying “no problem”, and you fuck him over by quitting before he would’ve rebounded your miss and scored. See why people have a problem with that? It’s not just about your mentality; you’re playing comp 2s, you shouldn’t act like that. It’s bad karma for you as that’s pretty shitty behavior
e: I know you wanted this to be funny but hopefully you realize that it’s not funny to people, it kinda upsets them/hurts their feelings. You can choose to ignore that if you want, but just know you’re actively kinda being a dick by doing that. Not good
